Snowmobiling
Maine's 12,000 miles of groomed
snowmobile trails are regarded as some of the finest in the
country. And nowhere in Maine does snowmobiling get any better
than at
Northern Outdoors. With an annual average snowfall of nearly
10 feet, it's no wonder that people from around the country come
to the Forks to experience the
best snow, our relaxing and comfortable resort, and the incredible
winter scenery.
Mountain Biking
Founded
in 1991 by Cliff "The Wildman" Krolick,
Back Country Excursions
is the first and longest running MTB touring company in the Eastern
U.S. Cliff began by promoting eco-biking tours and multi-sport
adventures because he feels that the quality of human life is
directly related to one's appreciation and gratitude for the Natural
Community around us. Lots of information on his site so take a
look!
